What are the disadvantages of PVC decking?

• <div><p>PVC decking might be long-lasting, but this synthetic material lacks the natural aesthetic or sustainability of wood decking. If you want to match your decking to your new garden furniture or just freshen up the faded surface, it’s not usually possible to paint PVC decking. When comparing<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pvc-vs-composite-decking.htm"> PVC to composite decking</a>, PVC is pricier and more prone to warping in hot regions.</p></div>

Do I need to stain Ipe decking?

• <div><p>No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/deck-staining/">deck staining specialist near you</a> to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature. </p></div>

Can you build a composite deck in the winter?

• <div><p>Yes. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-composite-decking.htm">Composite decking</a> is resistant to moisture and freezing temperatures, so it’s an ideal material to use in particularly cold or damp seasons. You can install this type of decking throughout the year since it does not warp or split in the cold.</p></div>

Q: Can you build a deck when the ground is frozen?

• <div><p>Yes, and in some cases, frozen ground may improve the digging process for footings due to sturdier conditions. It&rsquo;s easier than working in muddy conditions, which are more common in the spring. Contractors may use machinery that makes this step a breeze, so harder ground shouldn&rsquo;t affect the building process. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to sand an old deck before staining?

• <div><p>In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. </p></div>
